Psalmowo 141
1 David ƒe ha. O! Yehowa, mele yɔwòm, va gbɔnye kaba. Se nye gbe, ne meyɔ wò.
Jehovah, I have called upon thee. Make haste to me. Give ear to my voice when I call to thee.
2 Nye gbedodoɖa neva gbɔwò abe dzudzɔ ʋeʋĩ ene, eye na be nye asi siwo medo ɖe dzi la, nanɔ na wò abe fiẽvɔsa ene.
Let my prayer be set forth as incense before thee, the lifting up of my hands as the evening sacrifice.
3 O! Yehowa, ɖo dzɔla nye nu ŋu, eye nɔ ŋudzɔ ɖe nye nuyi ƒe ʋɔtru ŋu.
Set a watch, O Jehovah, before my mouth. Keep the door of my lips.
4 Mègana be woahe nye dzi ɖe nu vɔ̃ɖi ŋuti, be mayi gome kpɔ ge le nu vɔ̃ɖi wɔwɔ me kple ŋutsu, nu vɔ̃ɖi wɔlawo o, eye mègaɖe mɔ be maɖu woƒe nuɖuɖu viviwo o.
Incline not my heart to any evil thing, to practice deeds of wickedness with men who work iniquity. And let me not eat of their dainties.
5 Na ame dzɔdzɔe naƒom, enye dɔmenyo wòwɔ nam, na wòaka mo nam, enye ami wòsi ɖe ta nam. Nye ta magbe exɔxɔ o. Gake nye gbedodoɖa tsia tsitre ɖe ame vɔ̃ɖiwo ƒe wɔnawo ŋu ɖaa,
Let a righteous man smite me, as a kindness. And let him reprove me, as oil upon the head. Let not my head refuse it. For even in their wickedness my prayer shall continue.
6 woatutu woƒe dziɖulawo tso togbɛwo dzi aƒu agame, eye ame vɔ̃ɖiwo anya be megblɔ nye nyawo memie ɖe eteƒe.
Their judges are thrown down by the sides of the rock. And they shall hear my words, for they are sweet.
7 Woagblɔ be, “Abe ale si ame ŋlɔa nu hedzoboa anyigbae ene la, nenemae woakaka míaƒe ƒuwoe ɖe yɔdowo nu.” (Sheol h7585)
Like plowing and furrowing the earth, our bones are scattered at the mouth of Sheol. (Sheol h7585)
8 O! Aƒetɔ Yehowa, meda nye ŋkuwo ɖe dziwò, mewòe mebe ɖo, mègatsɔm na ku o.
For my eyes are to thee, O Jehovah the Lord. In thee do I take refuge. Leave not my soul destitute.
9 Ɖem le mɔ siwo wotre nam la me, tso mɔkli si nu tovo wɔlawo ɖo ɖi la me.
Keep me from the snare which they have laid for me, and from the traps of the workers of iniquity.
10 Na ame vɔ̃ɖiwo naɖo woawo ŋutɔ ƒe ɖɔwo me, ne matso eme ayi le dedinɔnɔ me.
Let the wicked fall into their own nets, while I pass over.
